Week 6 Listening Lab: Chirp under inspection
Compare raw, filtered and shifted renderings of a gravitational-wave event.
Listening Lab 06
30 August 2027
Leave with
a blind comparison of three chirp transformations
Before the lab#
Review the lecture deck and write down which operation you expect to change
scientific interpretation most.
In the lab#
Listen blind to three versions, order them by perceived clarity, then reveal the
processing chain. Inspect their spectrograms and explain any mismatch between
clarity and fidelity.
Leave with#
A comparison table that names each operation and the claim it permits or
prevents.
The spec
What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
- all versions point to the same source event
- filtering, amplification and shifting are disclosed separately
- the comparison distinguishes detection evidence from audibility
